I'm sure this has been discussed ad nausieum in the CWS threads so far, but honestly, I've been too frustrated since the regionals to look at a baseball thread until this one.

I just can't decide if it hurts worse that a team we won a series over is in the championship game, or if we should wear that as some sort of moral victory badge of honor.

I really believe we were at least good enough to be in Omaha this year.

I think I'm going to go with option A and say it sickens me that no real dominate team emerged, even in the finals.

No use crying about it, though.

I don't know if I would call them dominant, but Virginia has been very consistent the whole year. A few slips here and there in typical baseball fashion but they've been right in the mix all season, and now find themselves in the championship series.

This is a case in which I find no problem cheering for the SEC team. Yes, Vandy is in competition with us, but right now selling the SEC network is paramount. Having championships in major sports is how we accomplish this. Right now we're 0-2 in football and basketball.

True. It just stung to see Ole Piss and Vandy make it through. It stings a little worse that Vandy is in the 'ship.

I'm with this guy. I'd hate to see the ACC streak end but I have a special disdain for Vandy baseball. From the coaches to the players to the stupid frolicking around they do in the outfield. You think they're cocky now? Wait until they win a NC.

You can believe what you wish I guess. What everyone "should" agree on is that the numbers are growing, and as I've already proven the areas that showed the most interest are spread around the south from Kentucky to North Carolina to Tennessee to Alabama to Louisiana. That is the SEC Network footprint.

Other sports have declining tv numbers, Nascar and MLB among them. You want to be on the growing side, not the shrinking side.
